PAPER CONTAINER FOR WOOL.

Application filed March 30, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB P. TmmLL, a citizen of the United States,residing at St.

Louis, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Paper Containers for WVool, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to bags and sacks for wool and pertainsespecially to a paper container made of a woven paper fabric forpackaging and baling wool.

I leretofore wool bags have always been made of burlap, the fibers ofwhich loosen and mix with the wool. These fibers will not take the dyesand cause endless trouble in textilefabric manufacturing. For years ithas been a great problem how to handle wool without contamination fromburlap, hemp and twine. It has been known that paper when used as acontainer has no deleterious effects on the wool, but the problem hasbeen heretofore to make a container entirely of paper which issufficiently strong to resist the tremendous pressure of wool balingwhere a container is subject to a rending strain of five hundred poundsor more, per square inch. I have discovered a means for solving theproblem which consists in weaving a paper container, of tough paperthreads to stand the wear and tear of such handling as wool bags aresubjected to.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial .No. 18,015.

The drawing illustrates vsuch a woven paper container.

In carrying out the invention, paper of a degree of toughness to providenecessary strength and pliability is employed, the paper being woveninto a relatively wide or large mesh fabric, preferably into baglikeform without seams. These bags are of suitable sue to fit wool balingpresses in use,

and when filled, the bags are sewed or closed at the end in any suitablemanner. Experience shows that these woven paper bags not only possessthe requisite degree of strength and afford the desired protection tothe wool, but they have the additional quality of in no wisecontaminating the wool.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is- A package of wool composed of a container formed oftough woven Paper relatively large mesh fabric capable alone ofwithstanding baling pressure and in which the inner face of the fabricdirectly contacts with the wool.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

JACOB P. TIRRILL.
